Yesterday was such a day on an abandoned trail in the Columbia River Gorge near Cascade Locks.

A good time was had by all last weekend east of Mt. Hood and no one was life-flighted to the hospital. Some of these rigs with swapped out snowmachine engines cruise up to 45mph.

St. Helens tomorrow.

I can’t stop thinking about President Obama and the beautifully stained barrels. They make me smile.

Waisman, sent me an email today and informed me that my studio and dog Jane are in PDN. Cool. Cranky interweb trolls crack me up!

Turns out I didn’t have to help much; instead of wrangling a mic I set my camera’s aperture to f2, used no stobes and just clicked away. Sometimes it doesn’t feell like serious photography without stobes but then again it feels liberating to simplify, compose and stalk moments.

After a long approach Lynn, Blake and I found great corn snow to the southeast of Lookout Mountain near Mt. Hood. We could have chosen a better line to ski and were forced to traverse through thick trees and over lots of bits and boughs more than we would have liked. The views and uncanny feeling like we were on a Sierra Nevada spring trip made up for the descent. The views of Hood, Adams, Rainier, Helens, Jefferson, Washintgon and the Sisters were clear and a cold foggy blanket extended to the horizon east of the Cascades.
